Focusing on the conventions of implied accidentals in vocal polyphony from the early fourteenth to mid-sixteenth century, this book delves into a long-standing issue in musicology. It explains how musicians of the time relied on contextual cues rather than notating all accidentals, which presents challenges for modern interpreters. By exploring the broader context of compositional, notational, and performance practices of the period, the book enhances understanding of these conventions and their implications for historical music interpretation.
